to be blunt.....
......the investment that you really need to consider is one in your enjoyment. Think of a watch as an investment in your pleasure...in a similar way to a holiday. The latter, of course, depreciates to zero very quickly. A watch can and often does depreciate....but it does so over a much longer period. If you love your watch and it gives you great pleasure, then its monetary value becomes less of an issue. Of course, nobody wants to throw money away....but when we go on vacation, we don't evaluate it as money being thrown away. Rather, it is looked at as money invested in our wll-being and happiness.
Looking at a watch in a similar way is not a bad idea.
Some watches have "investment" appeal. but within modern Rolex, my guess is that few if any have that persona.
Which modern Rolex's Sport Models are worth collecting?
I watched a video on youtube by a watchdealer in UK , he said: Rolex Submariner Hulk Rolex Daytona SS Rolex GMT Master II Batman Rolex Deepsea blue dial Anyone agree totally or with different opinions? My choice of modern sport Rolex's models would be Day...
Those that will give you joy
Baxter, The answer to your question is entirely subjective, as it depends on what makes "collecting" worthwhile to the individual. If you like the Yachtmaster, who cares what a dealer thinks of it? Watches are unlikely to prove a useful financial investme...
Don't think they're "worth collecting", just good enough to have if you want one Rolex.
I never understand how stainless steel can be "worthy" of collection, it really a bet against the future demand market. A better "worthwhile" collection would need to comprise of more uncommon pieces or pricier option of the common models. With SS models,...
some wise person said, "Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future"...
IMHO, if you're looking for future value - you should choose the model which the "crowd" don't buy today...the least sold today will be the most scarce in future. this is exactly what makes vintage Daytona expensive..it is rare. If Rolex would have sold a...
The funny thing is that the vintage Dayto is not rare.
I don't exactly know how many Rolex made, but probably, a prudent guess, let's say 50 000 , which wouldn't surprise me. 50, 000 is not what I call rare. Still, they are insanely priced. Go wonder why. Aaah, the rule of the demand and the offer... Best, Ni...
I am not sure the Dayto steel ceramic will be collectible. It just started, and if it is in production for the next ten years...
It won't be rare. If it is just a one or two years production, then this is another story. I would say that, among those you mentioned, the Deep Sea Blue may be on of the few moderns to be considered as worth collecting. But in terms of pleasure, I would ...
Depends.....
.....on what purpose you have for collecting....what is the purpose of your collecting?
oh, the dealer is for retaining value
For me, my purpose is wearablility and keeping value
ok..... then it goes like this for me......
There are some watches that one could argue are more likely to appreciate in value than others. Equally, there are some watches that one enjoys wearing much more than others. If those two frameworks cross over, then you have a hit. So often, though, it is...
thank you for your advice.
Actually, I have not had much advice from people that I know at all, most of my friends only knows Rolex and Cartier. I am the one usually giving them advice when they want to buy one or two to wear and keep. I am still learning to buy sensibly instead of...

Rolexes in general hold their value reasonably well
So, I\'d say just buy the one you like best and you\'ll probably be OK if you decide to sell/upgrade down the road. It\'s doubtful any of the modern Rolexes will be collectible like some from the past are, but if I was forced to speculate I\'d say Deep Bl...
A lot of great advice.
Buy the watch you like as Baron said consider it as investment in pleasing you and second also as noted below most Rolex watch retain there value as they are sold at their retail price not discounted all over the place 25-35% off as do many other brands. ...
